Fright Night Horror

Chris LaMartina is a talented young filmmaker from the Baltimore area. He’s already made five independent feature films. Chris has worked with horror icon George Stover on several projects. His current movie WITCH’S BREW is getting great reviews. It was great to talk to Chris about his passion for independent filmmaking.  What inspired you to make movies?

When I was 11, I stumbled across the family camcorder and began producing little shorts, trying to emulate the films I love (mostly horror). As I got older and more interested in micro-budget horror, I realized that ...

Chris Bauer is a talented horror fiction writer from my native Bucks County Pennsylvania. His novel SCARS ON THE FACE OF GOD: THE DEVIL"S BIBLE is an exceptional novel. The book was an EPIC Awards finalist for best in horror of 2010. He has received positive critical reception and is well respected by many authors including New York Times Bestseller Jonathan Maberry. It was fun to ask Chris some questions about his book and what inspires him. When did you write your first novel? In or around 2001 I completed The Rabbit, Stilled. Mainstream contemporary genre or thereabouts. Main characters Teddy and Sonny in Rabbit are from Scars on the Face of God: The Devil’s Bible: kids in Scars, adults in Rabbit. So now you know a secret: I wrote Scars as a prequel to Rabbit. Here’s why: Started shopping Rabbit with little or no clue about what this writing thing and the publishing industry were about. At 120,000 words it didn’t stand a chance at being represented by anyone, or so said m...
